Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 9:1-13

Here is, I. A prediction of Christ's kingdom now near approaching, Mark 9:1. That which is foretold, is, 1. That the kingdom of God would come, and would come so as to be seen: the kingdom of the Messiah shall be set up in the world by the utter destruction of the Jewish polity, which stood in the way of it; this was the restoring of the kingdom of God among men, which had been in a manner lost by the woeful degeneracy both of Jews and Gentiles. 2. That it would come with power, so as to make... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 9:2-8

9:2-8 Six days after, Jesus took Peter and James and John along with him and brought them up into a high mountain, all by themselves, alone. And he was transfigured in their presence. His clothes became radiant, exceedingly white, such that no fuller on earth could have made them so white. And Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus. Peter said to Jesus. "Teacher, it is good for us to be here. So let us make three booths, one for you, and one for Moses and one for... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 9:1

And he said unto them ,.... Both to his disciples, and the multitude, verily I say unto you, there be some of them that stand here ; that were then living, and upon the spot, which shall not taste of death , or die, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power . When Jesus was declared both Lord and Christ, by the wonderful effusion of the Holy Spirit; the Gospel spread in the world both among Jews and Gentiles, in spite of all opposition, under the power and influence... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 9:2

And after six days ,.... Six days after this discourse with his disciples, in their way to Caesarea Philippi, and after they were come into those parts: Jesus taketh with him Peter, James, and John ; favourite disciples, and a sufficient number, to be witnesses of his transfiguration: and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves ; where he and they were alone. This was not Mount Tabor, as is generally said, but either the mountain which Caesarea was at the foot of,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 9:3

And his raiment became shining ,.... With the rays of glory and brightness which darted from his body through his clothes, and made them as bright as the light of the sun at noon day: and exceeding white as snow ; than which nothing is whiter; so as no fuller on earth can white them . The Syriac version renders it, "as men cannot white on earth"; and the Persic thus, "so as men could not behold him". Just as the Israelites could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses, because of... read more

There be some - This verse properly belongs to the preceding chapter, and to the preceding discourse. It is in this connection in Matthew 16:27-28 ; (note). See the notes there. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 9:2

And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, etc. - For a full account of the nature and design of the transfiguration, see on Matthew 17:1 ; (note), etc. A high mountain - I have conjectured, Matthew 17:1 , that this was one of the mountains of Galilee: some say Hermon, some Tabor; but Dr. Lightfoot thinks a mountain near Caesarea Philippi to be more likely. Was transfigured - Four good MSS. and Origen add here, And While They Were Praying he was transfigured; but this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 9:1

Till they see the kingdom of God come with power. In St. Matthew 16:28 the words run thus: "Till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom." In St. Luke 9:27 , "Till they see the kingdom of God." All these evangelists connect their record of the Transfiguration with these predictive words—a circumstance which must not be lost sight of in their interpretation. The question, therefore, is whether or how far the Transfiguration is to be regarded as a fulfillment of these words. One... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 9:1-8

The Transfiguration. A brief interval of six days occurs, "days of the Son of man," of which no record remains. How much of even this brief ministry to men seems to be lost! Yet is the account of each day to be given when, to every man favored with his presence and teaching, it is said, "Render the account of thy stewardship." The silence of the record is an appropriate prelude to the sublime event which follows. "He went up into a mountain to pray." "Peter, James, and John"—"the flower... read more

Parallel passages: Matthew 18:1-13 ; Luke 9:28-36 A glimpse of glory. I. THE TRANSFIGURATION . 1 . Allusions to the Transfiguration. The scene described in the above parallel passages is as singular as solemn. There are, however, two allusions to it in other books of the New Testament One is in St John's Gospel ( John 1:14 ), And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory , the glory as of the only begotten of the Father ,) full of grace... read more
